  1. Multiple keys at the same time on A Condensed History Of The Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Is it only me that remembers when you could get key reads for multiple keys?
    Test case: Playing doubles on Mortal Kombat on PC, with two people on the keyboard. After 3/4 keypresses of at the same time, the rest is ignored. This didn't use to happen on the older keyboards. This did create some interesting tactics for the game tho =)

  2. Big quality loss on More on Futuremark and nVidia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Those that are following this, should check the pictures on the previous article. The quality of the nvidia "optimized" version sucked (showed big artifacts). That's no optimization, unless there was no image quality loss.
    "This card is optimized for quake as long as you follow the left trail, the right trail will just look like crap but nobody follows it anyway".

  3. Re:Don't buy it then. on PS2 Class Action Lawsuit Against DVD Player · · Score: 2

    I really wonder what the problem exactly is. Are the non-working DVDs out of specs, or just the PS2 cannot read prefectly in-spec DVDs?
    For what I've read, the problem is the second one(I can be wrong). In that case, Sony IS responsible for this.
    Otherwise, I guess the case would have no merit.

  4. Re:Don't buy it then. on PS2 Class Action Lawsuit Against DVD Player · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. They are advertising the product (PS2) as a fully functional DVD player, which is not. RTFA.

    IANAL, but that's at least false advertisement and they should be punished (and at least fix the defective components free-of-charge).

  5. Write a book on Laid off? What are You Doing w/ Your Newfound Freedom? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Post in slashdot asking for input, write a book, make it a best seller (so many unemployed), never work again.

  6. Re:Bullshit. on Brazil Breaks Patent to Make AIDS Drug · · Score: 1

    I judge everything and everyone in the world. And I invite everyone in the world to judge me. Sometimes I live up to it, and sometimes not. And I don't always accept everyone's judgements, and not everyone accepts my judgements.

    Ok, that might be valid for you. I don't think that my belief system is the only one, and I accept individuality. And I don't think that my beliefs or rules are the only ones, and that everybody should accept them. I don't meassure everyone against them, that why I said I don't judge others.

    What is in someone's past is completely irrelevent. All that matters is their current actions. You can't examine facts without a context. This usually includes past the past.

    "Hey, I had a rough childhood, so I should be allowed to screw a few people." No, I say!
    I agree with this.

    You seem to be under the impression that all discrimination is bad. It is not. Discrimination for arbitrary reasons is bad. Discrimination for real reasons is not.

    I think discrimination is bad when applied in a whay that judges someone for a belief or attitudes that are not mine. When they think or act different. I completely disagree this.

    For example, I don't have friends that are heroin users

    Bad luck for you, if you need a medical record in order to became friend of someone.

  7. Re:Bullshit. on Brazil Breaks Patent to Make AIDS Drug · · Score: 1


    >Do you feel the same sympathy for a child with >cancer that you do a heavy, lifetime chain >smoker with cancer? Or a lifetime alcoholic with >liver disease?

    I feel mostly the same towards both of them. I don't think I'm in position to judge anyone for their choices in life, and can't see the background they came for, what happened to them during their lifetimes. Sames applies to AIDS and any disease.

    Making any kind of difference would be a form of discrimination.

    I think that all of them are humans, and all of them deserve the best treatment they can get. How they happened to get it is not important. At least for me.

  8. Re:Bullshit. on Brazil Breaks Patent to Make AIDS Drug · · Score: 1

    Are you on acid or what?
    The reason why they infected is not important, unless you believe that bullshit that AIDS is "God Revenge" for sinfull acts.
    That doesn't change that international drug producers are milking as much as they can for a drug needed by many people to survive, many of which are in underdeveloped poor countries with little or no education on the subject.

  9. Re:Why is it... on The New Athlons · · Score: 1

    As much as we hate it, Windoze is still the big cash cow. Many people will buy complete new systems just to run this bloated "new version" of the OS.
